The Movie Scoop

Ok Here is the Big Scoop for two movies. Over the Holidays I and my family members saw some of the movies in theaters. I went and saw Sherlock Holmes while both of my siblings went to see Avatar.

First I will start with Sherlock Holmes as I know more about that particular movie. In the main cast the performances by Robert Downey Jr. , Jude Law, and Rachel McAdams were all well done. For those who enjoy a good mystery, and know Sherlock through his literary adventures this film is a MUST SEE.

Robert Downey Jr. does a fabulous job of playing meticulous and yet quirky Sherlock Holmes. The writing of his part is fabulous and I particularly like the insight into his thoughts as he works through certain situations to find a pleasing conclusion, for him at least. While he may at times be a bit self-centered, he is a very charming and lovable character. Most certainly someone you want to have on your side and not against it.

His partner, Dr. Watson is played by Jude Law who is magnificient in portraying the general annoyance Sherlock causes Dr. Watson from day to day and yet his unfailing friendship comes through in the end. A very cunning and charming character who helps to balance Holmes and his eccentricities.

Rachel McAdams plays, believe it or not, a Villain who in turn helps both Sherlock and Watson. A fun character who would as soon kick you in the butt and help you out. A good piece to fit into the puzzle that is the cast of characters.

The film itself was both visually intriguing as well as food for thought. The plot keeps you on your toes and trying to see if you can figure out the mystery before the characters. I dare you to watch this film and see if you are as quick-witted as the well-written and fabulously portrayed Sherlock Holmes. Watch out for a sequel to this Film!

As for Avatar, I am told it is the Best Movie Ever. Both my siblings were flabbergasted, and well the tale is this is one I must see for Myself! If Avatar is not already on your list of movies to see, it should be.
